The stems and some leaves begin to yellow. Another three or four weeks before the harvest? Every year I forget and have to guess

The point I was trying to make re small pots small plants in another thread (img 1). Anyway, we got some unexpected rain after the highest temp of 37C today. It's crazy hot.

Another heat wave and the second crop plants are hiding from the sun under the chairs and whatever shade they can find (img 1). I'm carrying some of them in and out of the house during the day. So far I had just one fatality, the rest although look totally wilted and f*cked will recuperate either inside or in the shade. On img 2 is the raised bed that get the most sunshine/burn. One plant, (the right top corner, just one!) has wilted, I wonder what's wrong. It's been like that for days. Should I just harvest it? I will start harvesting in a week, when the heat is over, anyway. The Aztec leaves look nice but show little signs of yellowing (img 3). Monte Calme Brun are beautiful plants (img 4).

They promised lots of rain and even tornado, nothing happened and I had to water the plants instead. My second crop plants (94 of them) are ready to replace the first crop.

Half of the raised bed of the previous photo now has 10 young plants (img 1), will do the rest later today. They wilted in the sun but I'm sure they'll be fine. These (img 2) will have to wait another week or two. Brun variety cures great (img 3) as well as small Aztec plants with light green leaves (img 3). The dark green leaves of Aztec will dry green at the same conditions in my experience, so I will yellow them inside a blanket in the sun or other hot place before hanging them in the garage (img 4).
